Canon N100 vs Sigma DP1s

Here, we will be matching up the Canon N100 versus Sigma DP1s, former is a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Sigma. There is a considerable difference between the image resolutions of the N100 (12MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the N100 (1/1.7") and DP1s (APS-C) provide different sensor measurements.

The N100 was revealed 4 years after the DP1s which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon N100 being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving into a more detailed comparison, here is a concise overview of how the N100 scores against the DP1s with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot N100 & Sigma DP1s. The full galleries are provided at Canon N100 Gallery & Sigma DP1s Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry around your camera frequently, you are going to need to take into account its weight and volume.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the N100 versus the DP1s.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the N100 and DP1s is 89 and 90 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by looking at technical specs. The picture below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the N100 and DP1s.

As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The N100 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Canon N100 will give you extra detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern N100 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
